B. FIND THE WALL STUDS
THE MICROWAVE MUST BE MOUNTED TO AT LEAST
ONE WALL STUD.
1. Find the wall studs using either a wall stud finder (a magnetic
device for locating nails) or a hammer to tap lightly across the
mounting surface to find a solid sound, which indicates a wall
stud location.

2. After locating the stud(s), find the center by probing the wall with
a small nail to find the edges of the wall stud.
3. Place a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any
adjacent wall studs should be 16" (40.6 cm) or 24" (61 cm) from
this mark.
4. Draw a line down the center of the wall studs.
